With KHS SUPREME, the KHS Group is taking the protection of oxygen-sensitive beverages up to the next level. The innovative system combines the benefits of glass with the handle-ability of PET by applying Plasmax barrier technology.
KHS presents the result of an extensive development study: with the KHS SUPREME PET bottle, the Dortmund turnkey supplier is focusing on the product protection of oxygen-sensitive beverages such as tea. Here, KHS makes use of its tried-and-tested Plasmax barrier technology, a wafer-thin, transparent layer of silicon oxide that coats the inside wall of PET bottles like glass. Less than 100 nanometers thick, it reliably protects the sensitive bottle content from oxidation, retaining its taste, color and quality for lengthy periods of time. This helps to make the product last up to ten times longer.
Plasmax technology, that KHS has been successfully using for over 20 years, is being continuously further developed at its Hamburg factory. This site is KHS’ competence center for PET, with the team’s pooled expertise directly incorporated into every single innovation to support customers worldwide with the development of pioneering packaging systems.
